Street view coming to Botswana

6 Feb 2012 11:21

Google has added five Western Cape wineries to its popular Street View service in Google Maps and will begin collecting images in Botswana in the next few weeks, the internet giant says in a new blog post.

The five new wineries - Boekenhoutskloof, Groot Constantia, Hartenberg, Moresen, Rustenburg Wines and Warwick - bring to 30 the number of wineries now available in Street View. Google uses specially equipped trikes and cars to take the images.
